Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Dennis Santana has thrown 4,808 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2018 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Slider (87mph) and Fourseam Fastball (95mph), also mixing in a Cutter (90mph) and Change (88mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (95mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their slider has primarily 12-6 movement and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has slight armside run and has slightly above average velo. Their cutter is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has slightly above average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2025) generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, is much firmer than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo, has slight armside run and has some natural sinking action.
